My gravel bike is my road bike. I use 38mm Compass Barlow Pass file cut tires on the paved road and hard pack limestone / gravel roads. I can run with my roadie friends around 18-20 mph for 60+ miles. I did my first century ride on this set up and stayed with the B group. A month and a half later I had a blast on a big gravel grinder using the same set up. All I did was lower the air pressure and go! Both rides were a blast and doing it on the same bike without switching tires around was kind of cool. Could I have used a better set up? Probably, but I just want to ride, explore and have fun!
Take care,
Mike <><
